The Give A Dam campaign fighting the proposed raising of the Warragamba Dam continues from strength to strength.

An Upper House Committee was recently established to inquire into plans for any future development of property on the Hawkesbury Nepean Floodplain as a result of the project as well as the adequacy of the EIS.

The UN has prepared a draft report on the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area listing which will be considered in July. The report highlights a number of concerns for the area and calls on the NSW and Federal Governments to send it any EIS before decisions on the dam are made. John
